It's a door, right? Can we see in which direction it opens - towards us or away from us? If it towards us, we could try and embed the sword into the doorframe, jamming it closed.would that be a viable option?
Not really, Molly's sword is a part of her soul and that comes with all sorts of advantages, but also it is not a normal physical object so it de-summons when it gets too far from her (outside of anima banner range basically).

We can throw our shield, though, right? Would that work, assuming it hit?
That might work, it would be a Dex+Athletics roll.

Okay, right, and here's the specs for our shield I dug up. We have 5 dice on Dex + Athletics, 7 if we stunt, and I don't have the thrown characteristics for a dagger available offhand and need to go to bed pretty soon. Someone else figure out how viable this is and write it up if they think it will work. See you all tomorrow.

Bolded ones.
I'll make a sheet for it when you guys use it for the first time.
Wait, so we bought a lot of excellencies on chargen then? The description says one buy applies to one ability.
The excellency auto buys all key abilities. We have to buy individually for the rest, at 4xp each.

First purchase gives you excellency for all Key Abilities. The Key abilities are the bolded ones.
OK, looks like we are going with Michael.
Arc 2 Post 39: Thief of Lives
Thief of Lives
22st of July 2006 A.D.
Mind racing through all the permutations of what could have... taken over Lydia you consider what you might do. Still atop a fearsome form of concrete and steel the stair looks flimsy indeed, but you do not know what kind of power Lydia might have or what the being looking at you from behind her eyes might conjure forth. But you do know of One All-loving as He is All-powerful...
"Dad," you do not raise your voice, but neither do you try to hide what you're saying. There's no time for subterfuge anymore. "I think Lydia's possessed."
He does not hesitate and he does not doubt you, instead in one smooth motion he draws forth the Sword of Love and turns its cros guard towards Lydia as he intones with solemn voice:
"Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies,
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in "our battle against principalities and
powers,
against the rulers of this world of darkness,
against the spirits of wickedness in the high places"
And lo, on the simple steel cross-guard there is a glint of gold as if the morning light had reached into even this deep place. In the echo of his voice you can hear others faint and far off but growing closer, men and women, young and old.
But then from the height of the ladder Lydia, or rather now the thing that speaks with her lips having thrown off all veils laughs, an empty thing that recalls the form but not the meaning of mirth:
"Your God has not power over me, for I have slipped the chains of death and the demands of His Judgement. A hundred deaths I have faced and all of them I have cast onto those too weak to keep their lives from me." There is no light to her working, no glimmer in the air, only a chill void that grows and grows, a stillness that devours. Like the conductor of some demented orchestra she motions with her right hand presenting her palm up towards the pale light above and the ceiling shatters.
Unquiet specters flow like grey mist of sorrow and of rage, broken limbs and twisted faces, hollow eyes and howling mouths, tragedies and horrors uncounted stitched together into a spiritual abomination driven only by rage and the mind lash of its maker.
Though Amoracchius shines all the brighter in the murk, though the runes on Gard's axe burn fel and clear upon the steel dread comes over you, not of the ruined, tormented dead, but of the one who called them. The spirit's words still ring in your ear, death traded with the weak... Capricorpus, the one Lydia's father hunted had found her. Behind the veil of wailing specters she is fleeing, with poor Lydia still locked in to her own mind... but for how long?
What do you do?
[] Ignore the ghosts, you are tough, go after Lydia
-[] Write in stunt (optional)
[] Help to clear out the ghosts as fast as possible, you are going to need help to deal with that thing
-[] Write in stunt (optional)
[] Write in
OOC: Really short this time, but can't really be helped since it's combat.

I just hope that Capriocorpus doesn't have something that either bust through or bypass our mental defenses.
